A Card a Day in December-Day #22

Today I wanted to share a fabulous scrapbook page that I created based on the card I shared yesterday! Did you miss it? It is ok, you can go back to get the specific details but I did include a picture of it with today’s share too—-22 projects so far!

I used the Hostess stamp set, A Merry Hello, from the Handmade for You catalogue to create this fun and whimsical scrapbook page. I love this color combo—Just Jade, Poppy Parade and Flirty Flamingo. It has your traditional red and green feel but in a brighter more modern version! And the pop of pink on Whisper White just helps it feel fresh!

I started with a 12x12 base of Just Jade and layered it with Whisper White. I chose to feature one photo on a mat of Poppy Parade. I pulled in designer series papers from the Tis’ the Season and In Color 6x6 paper stacks.

I love this section of the page with all of the stockings. They are colored with Stampin’ Blends in Just Jade, Flirty Flamingo and Poppy Parade. The area is accented with glittery gold stars and the sentiment Heartfelt Christmas is embossed in gold.

The flirty flamingo circle was run through the Wrapped in Texture Embossing folder.

Here is a photo that has the card that inspired this scrapbook page! I do this a lot my friends, I make a card and love it and think, I can turn that into a scrapbook page OR I make a page and think this can be a great card! This is a great strategy to help you get started in creating and designing your own scrapbook pages.

Thank you for checking this out today!

A Card a Day in December--Day #21

Is the countdown officially on in your house for Christmas? My kids are counting down and I am pretty much done everything except get my groceries…and putting together my holiday Paper Pumpkin kits! I don’t know why I have procrastinated on them!

I did make a new card for my 21st share today! Have you used the Hostess Stamp set, A Merry Hello, from the Handmade for You catalogue? If not, I hope this project inspires you to pull it off the shelf!

The base of this card is Just Jade, dare I say my favorite of the new In Colors, and a base layer of Whisper White.

I stamped the sentiment, Heartfelt Christmas, in Poppy Parade ink on the end of a 1 1/4 x 4 1/4 inch strip of Whisper White card stock. I then matted the sentiment strip on a piece of Flirty Flamingo card stock.

The adorable stocking is colored in with our Stampin’ Blends in Just Jade. The top of the stocking is stamped with Poppy Parade and Flirty Flamingo,

I die cut two stars from Gold Foil paper using the Stitched Stars die and added some bling with the Holiday Rhinestones.

I love how clean and fresh this Christmas Card feels!
